Thanatos in English

ISSN 2242-6280

Thanatos is a peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary web-journal published by the Finnish Death Studies Association. We publish twice a year a journal that consists of articles, short and long research reports, book reviews, columns and seminar reports. The primary publication language is Finnish, but we do accept manuscripts in English and Swedish as well, however, the costs of proofreading (for non-native English speakers) are the responsibility of the author.

Thanatos advances the dialogue between interdisciplinary scholars and professionals working in the field of death and dying. The association welcomes all ideas for publications and for future theme issues.Manuscripts and abstracts are to be sent to the editors (kaarina.koski[a]utu.fi) or (ilona.pajari[a]jyu.fi).

Interested in editing a special issue for Thanatos? Please contact the editors-in-chief Ilona Pajari (kuolemantutkija[a]gmail.com) or Anna Ilona Rajala (anna.i.rajala[a]tuni.fi).
